This is a transformative, high-upside event for SKBL, but the stock will trade on deal completion probability and regulatory milestones. Watch for the S-4 registration statement filing, shareholder vote date, and any updates on EXIM/DFC definitive financing commitments. The long timeline (6-9 months to close) and early-stage mining risk mean significant volatility — position sizing should account for binary outcome risk.
